Saw this idea with tater tots and thought it would work great with broccoli tots too… It did. You do have to cook the broccoli tots a little longer before you put on the toppings, but it is worth the wait. Continue reading
Broccoli Crust Pizza
Buffalo Chicken Salad
When my husband works from home I have to come up with some clever lunches to keep him happy. This is one of his favorite salads – sometimes we’ll order it from a local restaurant, Blue Plate, and sometimes I’ll make it quick at home…It’s so easy to put together… Continue reading
Homemade Ricotta Ravioli Scampi with Grilled Lemon, Asparagus, Arugula & Toasted Garlic
I recently started making my own ricotta cheese and I just can’t get over how easy it is and how much I love it! So for today’s dish I combined two of my favorite Italian dishes together – ravioli and scampi. Grill a lemon and add a little veggie and you have a wonderful meal. My Hubby enjoyed every delicious bite… Continue reading
Honey, Lavender & Banana Smoothie
I recently bought a jar of Lavender just to see what I could do with it… First up, a creamy smoothie with banana, Greek yogurt, honey and vanilla…delicious on its own but add a hint of Lavender and it goes ‘Pop’!! A great little breakfast treat or afternoon snack… Continue reading
Tequila Lime Chicken
This dish is so good and so easy – the hardest part is having to wait for the chicken to marinade. I like to wrap them up in some tortillas with a good salsa and a little lettuce. Simple, healthy and delicious! Continue reading
Baked Shrimp With A Lemon & Tarragon Mayonnaise
I like to entertain, but I do try to keep things simple. Baking the shrimp instead of boiling them takes way less time and ends up perfect every time. Then, instead of the same old cocktail sauce (although I served that too), I made a mayonnaise-based sauce for dipping. My guests went crazy over it and the cocktail sauce was left untouched! The best part was that this time I got to share it first-hand with my Fabulous Fare Sister…Linda…she was there too! If you’re serving shrimp – try this method…and the sauce is better if made a day ahead, which is always nice… Continue reading
Crispy Beef & Caramelized Onion Flatbread
Sometimes we head over to the Cinder Bar, a local eatery & bar for a quick bite to eat. I will usually order the Short Rib & Caramelized Onion Flatbread. It’s a really tasty pizza…so recently, when I had some leftover Vaca Frita I decided to make my version at home for lunch…delicious! It’s great for a tasty lunch or in place of Friday night’s pizza… Continue reading
Stuffed Pepper Soup
It was time to clean the refrigerator… again! Easter is fast approaching and as you know you have to make room for more food. While I was working on the freezer I pulled out a bag of green peppers I had poached and frozen at the end of our garden season last summer. Time to use the peppers. Then in the refrigerator I had a big container of rice from the Chinese takeout I had gotten for my son the night before… that’s right, My Hubby and I had a date night so my son got take out. He never eats the rice so I just thought…peppers… rice… stuffed pepper soup! I used ground turkey because that’s what I had on hand. It turned out so good and my Hubby went wild for it! Continue reading
